Reviews for El Paso Mexican Restaurant (New York)

based on 99 ratings

By far the worst food I've ordered on Seamless, and have had delivered, in 5 years in NYC. I wanted to try several things so I ordered a few tacos and a lunch "enchilada' burrito.
All 4 types of tacos came wrapped up in one foil ball. They were a mess. There were radishes mixed in just cut in half, and chunks of limes mixed in the tacos. The chicken meat was dry and flavorless. The Chorizo was good, very spicy. The beef was dry and flavorless, and the Carnitas taco were big chunks of dry pork - but mostly huge chunks of inedible fat, it was thrown away after one bite. No hot sauce or salsas were sent with the tacos.
The Carnitas "enchilada" Burrito had no resemblance of an enchilada. It was the big chunks of fat and dry pork mixed with MAYO, lettuce, tomato, onion, rice, black beans. There is no description on Seamless of what is actually in this menu item, and I was very disappointed. I do not eat mayo at all, so I was disgusted when biting into a "enchilada' burrito to find this.
I wish I could give 0 stars because it took about an hour for delivery, the delivery guy could not have been more unfriendly, and the whole lunchtime meal cost $22.
Don't waste your money here, there are plenty of good Mexican restaurants.

Fresh, bold flavors. Best guacamole in NYC. Imaginative variations on Mexican classics. When we order in, this is one of our favorites.

I'm pretty particular when it comes to Mexican food and I must say, this is one of my new favorites. Absolutely delicious.

Love the food, but always 1.5 hours and cold.
Just go to the restaurant.

The burrito is very good, but not incredible. Takes a while for delivery, but it's a good option for competitively priced Mexican in the area.

Everything was delicious. Efficient service. One recommendation - please offer another couple of selections of salad dressings. The lemon vinigarette is very tart and hard to use. The other option (Mexican lime) is ok, but a little too spicy. We need something in the middle :)

The delivery guy got lost because the restaurant gave him a written piece of paper with the wrong address. He didnt speak English, so when he called I had to use my elementary Spanish skills.. which are pathetic. When I finally got the food.. it was completely cold and had to be microwaved.
I ordered the vegetable burrito and the mixed salad. The burrito was fine. It actually had some vegetables in it. That is the ONLY reason I gave this experience 3 stars. Other wise the burrito was flavorless.. but fine.
The salad had SO much dressing on it, it even leaked through the container and soaked everything in the delivery bag. The salad is not edible, unfortunately. Wish I got the dressing on the side because the salad is a fine, plain iceberg salad otherwise.
Rereading my review, I should give them only 1 star. I will not order from here again.

Solid Mexican, in the words of one from the Southwest and another from So. California. Always prompt - this is our go to order out place. We are new parents and have never ordered out so much in our lives. I like variety but can't help but keep coming back. I always get the nachos but we like he enchiladas and the fish tacos. Good quality stuff.

Ordered from here a little over a week ago. Food came in a timely manner, but was completely incorrect. I had ordered cheese enchiladas with red sauce, and received chicken enchiladas with green sauce. I called the restaurant and was told they would correct the mistake. I then got chicken enchiladas with red sauce. We were getting closer! I called again and the manager apologized and told me he would make it himself. When I got my food, it was finally correct, and they threw in a complimentary slice of flan.
The food itself was nothing special, but it was a good red sauce.
I am ordering from here again tonight, and hope for a better experience.
